Barak added: "Amy Winehouse was a very complicated woman. The world will always remember her as a musical genius - that much is without doubt. But Amy's many other sides were so often overshadowed by her much publicised addictions.

"Not many people got the chance to see the real Amy: the Amy who always minded her manners (like her nana taught her); the caring Amy who would always put everyone else first; the Am who would remember the smallest details about the people she came into contact with."

Winehouse's parents Mitch and Janis spoke extensively with Barak about their daughter's struggles with drugs and alcohol while she was alive.
